Hassan ended an awful spell of two months at the Fayoum club, who only registered a single win in 10 matches under the management of the former Zamalek boss.

A 1-0 defeat to Bani Suef Telephones on Sunday sent the team second from bottom and sealed the fate of Hassan and his twin brother Ibrahim (football director).

Yehia, who guided MCDR to an impressive campaign in 2010-2011, has been immediately appointed after ending a torrid spell with relegated Saudi outfit Hajr.
